and Hon. John Cessna.
According to time honored custom the Re
publicans of Bedford County assembled in
mass meeting at the Court House on Tues
day evening. Though no more than the or
dinary notice of a court week meeting had
been given, a large delegation from Bloody
Run made its appearance about 5 o'clock and
was met and escorted through the town by
tbe Bedford Silver Cornet Band. The pro
cession, consisting of abont twenty or twenty
five wagons and carriages with the stars and
stripes flying and accompanied with music
made a fine display and was in striking con
trast with the meagre and solemn cortege of
the Democracy the evening before. At the
hour of meeting the Court House was filled
to overflowing and hundreds could not gain
admission. The meeting was called to order
by the Chairman of the County Commitec,
J. W. Lingenfelter Esq., and the following

For the better accommodation of the im
mense audience, and that all might have au
opportunity of hearing, the meeting then ad
journed to the Bquare in front of the Court
house. The meeting was then addressed in
a brief but neat and telling speech by W. M.
Hall Esq. Hon. John Scott of Huntingdon
was then introduced and in an eloquent
speech of an hour and a half held the im
mense audience spelt bound. His expose of
the hypocrisy and rascality of the New York
platform could not tail to convince the un
prejudiced mind, that the New York conven
tion was the creature of, and managed entirely
for the benefit of the late rebels. The decep
tive, dishonest and unconstitutional charac
ter of the proposition to tax government
bonds was conclusively shown from the most
incontrovertible authority, and the shallow
sophistry of Copperhead speeches and plat
forms most effectually exposed. But time
and space forbid the enumeration of the many
happy bits and telling points made by the
eloquent speaker, suffice it to say that it has
seldom been our good fortune to listen to so
cogent, logical, argumentativeand yet eloque n
a speech. This was Mr. Scott's first appear
ance among as as a political speaker, but the
highly favorable impression be has made leads
us to hope that we may be favored with his
presence frequently hereafter.
At the elose of Mr. Scott's speech the
Chairman of the Committee on resolutions
M. A. Points Esq, reported the following
resolutions, which were unanimously adop
ted.
1. That the Union Republicans of Bedford
eounty, in mass meeting assembled, do hereby ex
press their cordial approval of the platform of
principles adopted at Chicago.
2. That we especially approve the doctrine
that in the rebellious States, as a matter of ne
cessity, superinduced by the defiant conduct of
unr.pentaot rebels, the ballot, as the only safe
gar.l of freedom, had to be placed in the hands
of all patriotic citizens without regard to color or
race, and that elsewhere the question of suffrage
is one that each State is to determine for itself.
3. That, as a corollary of the foregoing prop
osition, it is eminently just that representation iu
Congress shall be based upon the voting popula
tion. and that no State which denies the rightof
suffrage to tne blacks shall be permitted to count
them in the enumeration for representation.
4. That we cordially endorse the reconstruc
tion acts of Congress, believing that the loyal -
people of.the nation, through their representatives
hare a right to declare and establish upon what
terms th-.se who by fraud and force sought to de
stroy the Government, shall be re-admitted to its
privileges: and that the terms proposed are hon
orable and fair, and unprecedented in the history
of the world for liberality and magnanimity.
5. That Ulysses S. Grant and Schuyler Colfax
are standard bearers worthy of the cause of high
principle. That the country demands their elec
tion not, as the representatives of any party in
the narrow sense of that word, but as Patriots
representing the loyal heart of the nation, de
manding pence as the proper sequel to a bloody
and costly war.
t>. Tbat Gen. Geary by his integrity and abili
ty, and by the high moral and patriotic character
of his administration of our .State Government
commands our admiration and esteem?
7. That we look with fear and trembling for
the safety of free Government upon the infamous
frauds perpetrated by unscrupulous partisans by
means of fraudulent naturalization papers, and
we call upon the next Legislature to promptly in
terpose by the passage of a proper registry law.
8. That local and special Legislation has grown
to be an enormous evil, and that some plan to
supercede it by general laws is imperatively de
manded
9. That we cordially endorse the patriotic and
statesman-like course of the iiou. Simon Cameron,
oar Senator in Congress, and that we approve
his vote on all questions affecting important in
terests.
10. That the Hon. W. H. Koontz has won
our reepeet and esteem by his patriotic course in
Congress, and by the faithfulness and ability with
which he has devoted himself to the interests of
his district.
11. That the Union Republicans of this dis
trict bave done themselves bet justiee in the se
lection ef Hon. John Cessna as their nominee for
the next Congress. His patriotism, ability, and
zeal, and his position in thcfore-frnt of the ranks
of the party in this district, during the war, as
well as the deadly hatred manifested towards
him, by the leaders of the so-called Democrat!?
party, made his nomination eminently suitable
and proper, and Bedford county will show by her
rote, tbat she fully appreciates this action.
12. That we endorse the State and County
ticket as worthy of the entire support of every
Union Republican, and we cordially approve the
Crawford County system of nominating by direct
vote, adopted by the last Delegate Convention,
and urge upon the County Committee, and the
Township Vigilance Committees, to give this
matter their careful attention, so that there inay
be a satisfactory and faiT election after full no
tice.
Hon John Cessta then followed with ooe
of his usual powerful speeches, eliciting
thunders of applause from the immense audi
ence, as keen thrust and scathing rebuke of
j treason, copperheadismand rebellion, follow
jed each other in quick succession. The
most unbounded enthusiasm prevailed and the
crowd remained undiminished nntil after ten
o'clock when the meeting adjourned with
three rousing cheers for Graut, Colfax and
the whole Republican ticket.
BrRct.ABT.-Ou Monday night, the P. R.
R. Station house at ('reason was broken into
and despoiled of a number of books, a quanti
ty of cigars and tobacco, and some other arti
cles—the property of the news agent at tbat
point. Two men were seen in the vicinity at
a_ late boor of the night- under suspicious
circumstances, but they made off before the
fact of the burglary had been discovered, and
have not since been heard from— The AUe

THE NORTH AHERICAN REVIEW FOR JN.Y
has been on our table for some time awaiting
a perusal. We always turn to its pages with
pleasure, knowing that within its plain look
ing cover we will be sure to find profitable as
well as pleasant reading, all couched in the
most chaste and elegant English, quite a de
sideratum in the magazine literature of the
day. A hasty glance at the present number,
which completes the one huudred nd sixth
volume, shows a variety of attractive articles.
It opens with an appreciative article on Law
rence Sterne by Adams Sherman Hill in
which be defends the author of Tristram Shan
dy against aome of the worst charges of his
earlier critics a* J biographers. In "Meteoric
Showers'' after a brief discussion of some of
the most remarkable meteoric phenomena, S.
Newcomb expresses the rather wild opinion,
in the shape of a hope, that the scientific in
vestigation of these phenomena may yet
solve the problem of the origin of the Uni
verse. The Religious Reform movement iu
Italy is discussed in a hopeful vein by H. C.
Lea. C. H. Bigbam gives an interesting his
tory of "The Lumber Region of Michigan
and W. D. Howells contributes a highly ap'
preciative and flattering sketch of George
William Curtis. "The Chicago Convention"
by A. S. Hill is a racy and discriminating ar
ticle in which the western members of that
body come in for their full share of credit for
ability as well as energy and earnestness.
"Liberal Education" by John Fiske," John
Hookman Frere by Chatles Elliott Norton
and Dryden by James Russell L-owell com
plete the biographical articles of this number
and will command the attention of the scholar
and literary amateur. "Commercial Immo
rality and Political corruption" by E. L God
kin is an article for the times and well de
serves the attention of every thinking man.
Moral social and political sores are fearlessly
probed and some of the means of cure and
reformation pointed out. A good deal of
sound doctrine and practical common sense
is displayed in the following bit of advice in
regard to the too prevalent custom of smooth
ing social intercourse by denouncing the
crime and smiling upon the criminal. "No
one therefore, who wants to aid the work of
reform can begin better than by displaying in
his walk and conversation a sincere and
hearty detestation, not of corrupt practices
alone, but of those whom he and others know
to be engaged in them and of the newspapers
which gloss over ill-deeds and defend evil
doers.'' Thousands of croakers, over the
wickedness and corruption of the times, in
every community would do well to take, and
act upon, this well-timed advice. We are
heartily glad the North American is giving
its attention to the discussion of the vital,
practical issues of the day. There is here a
wide field of usefulness, opened for the stu
dent, the scholar and philanthropist and it is
highly becoming that New England should
lead the van. Published by Ticknor A Fields;

HOHORAJH.E MESTIO*.— On account of the
kindness and liberality of the people of
Bloody lit"a and vicinity towards the colored
l>eoplc on the occasion of their pic nic at the
Run, I desire to state tbat I bave attended
many pic uics, and witnessed the kindness,
attention and hospitality of many communi
ties; but have never seen greater respect
show the people of cmr race by any commu
nity than was shown ns by the visitors st our

Akotheb Cori'ERUEAB FIZZLE OK RECOBU.
—The Democrats used every effort last week
: to secure one of their rousing meetings for
Monday night. They succeeded like their
I Vermont brethren at the last election. It
was the most miserable failure we have ever
known them to have during any court. The
committee on delegations were busy for
weeks past, making arrangements for a grand
copperheud display. Between four and five
o'clock on Monday evening, we were notified
that "'Old Democracy" were rolling in. In
order to get a good view of the long ralked of
delegation we repaired to Pitt St. O! what
a sight! enough to inspire Seymour and Blair
with new energy and zeal. We presume Mr.
Kimmell telt highly elated at this outpouring
of the Bedford county Democrats. We pitied
the Judge, for it n-nst be a sore thing for a
man in his posish to see those whom be has
called his constituents stand back and thus
show to the world that party ties must be
severed when it comes to decide the questions
of the day. That false doctrines must die
and that the men that uphold them can never
receive the reins of the Government from the
hands of the people—that they are doomed to
a political death; that every hour of our exis
tence proves this clearly and that as the Dem
ocratic party grows older it waxes weaker
Their big delegation consisted of two spring
wagons, three one horse dearborns, eight
voters and seventeen boys. What a grand
procession! Ashamed of shemselves they
passed through town quietly and ordered a
halt at the Poor House. We presume that
j the recruits stationed at this strong hob! were
i not sufficiently equipped to join the proees
sion for in a short lime they wended their
' way back in a manner that language cannot
describe. Note bit of enthusiasm, no life,
no noise, but long faces and sullen cooute
nances which showed plainly that tbey were
realizing the fact that Democracy is dying and
that they must yield the ghost. We involun
tarily exclaimed look out for the scull and
cross hones (for we have read of the quiet
lours of the Ku Klux.)
The meeting was held in the Court House:
the room was full, but about one third of the
audience were Republicans who through cu
riosity went to hear what was to be said.
Judge Kimmell was the first speaker and pro
ceeded in his usual way to exagerate aud fal
sify, he said that he had received news from
a Southern friend (he has lots of em) who
said that the" negroes were sound Democrats
I and were conring back to the principles of
! "ole massa' this brought three rousing
cheers from the Democrats present. The
Judge didn't announce his text, but we were
able to deduce it when be had done. It is,
"Steel pens, Gold pens, stationery and pen
! knives" merchants engaged in this line might
receive some instruction in regard to the biz.,
we don't know his terms. The next speaker
introduced was Mr. Schreiner of Lewistown,
I who informed the house that he was a rene
gade Republican, and proceeded with a his
torical account to show how he was "fotched
over." This was the most interesting part of
his speech and when he had finished it, he
was at the end of his string. The ''Fotch
, over" anecdote of his friend Wade Hampton,
may be very good, but we think if we had the
: appointment of the revenue collectors we
i could fotch some of our deserters back again,
eh!
lA.voxr; the reminiscences of the watering
season just closed, the following piece of po
etry, descriptive of some of the amuging
| scenes that transpired at Mrs. Filler's during
the month of August and showing how happily
the guests pass their time, was handed to the
editor by a gentleman who has just left:
What are you doing war, Doctor K p?
(Jetting from -'spirits" a thundering rap.
Asking Planchetle to inform you why
That love illumines a lady's eye,
! Or where are your friends that so latch- laughed
With you as they Bedford's waters quafle-1?
| Are you on the porch in this bright moonlight.
Laughing and chatting with great delight
With E , or with the Braces three
That arc so garnished with witchery?
j Or in the parlor, with wider range,
! Telling of matters wild and strange:
Showing the "elephant," gloomy and strand.
To those wbu the trick don't understand:
Selling the "chicken" with feathers and spurs,
That will crow whenever the chance tecurs:
Guiding the ship from the far off sea,
I Laden with "notions" from A to Z?
j Showing the "menage rie" with beasts so rate,
i Crfolding their history with judgment and earn;
Or playing the "lawyer" with honest face
And pleading a lady's cause with grace?
Or giving long lectures of wonderful things
That can only be seen and heard near the Springs?
Presenting the "Colonel" to beauties bright,
: That rival in charms the queen of night?
I Instructing "Tecutnsch" in peaceful arts,
Or acting some other important parts;
: Or playing the "ghest" on this summer uight,
| Till all the ladies are pale with fright'
I Or putting the versatile "Judge" to sleep,
j While by turns the audience laugh and weep :
Or, in order the long programme ts vary,
Asking the "mosquito missionary,"
To argue the claims of the people with wings
Who sometimes visit at Bedford Springs?
! How B and I would like to be Mere,
Breathing the cool and fragrant air,
That comer from the mountains high and blue,
That are misty now with the evening dew!
But here we muse on the pleasures past
That seem'd too bright long time to last:
Then plead with the sylphs with starry eyes,
; Not to forget that their charms ice prise;
And as laugh and joke and games go round,
May in their hearts some regrets be found,
That -re are absrnt who late were there
I Breathing the same bright, balmy air !

Sunday School Celebration.
> NAPIER TOWSSHIP, Bedford County PN>
August 29th, IR6S. /
MB. Kt'iroß: —This was a great day for the
young folksof the vicinity of''Bethel church."
—This church is situated about six miles
North West of Schellsburg—as nearly as guess
work can locate it and two miles west of New
Paris. It was erected by the United Breth
ren two years ago. It entered into the
minds of a number of the citizens of this
community to give a treat to the young folks,
in the form of that ladnable, institution, —
a Sabbath-School celebration, as a reward for
the attention, and industry of the Scholars.
Though Sabbath School celebrations are
not so rare that they should receive publicity,
yet the Sabbath-School is such a noble in.
stitution, and productive of so much good,
that we think it deserves more attention, and
should receive more notice by the Press than
it does. This fault of course, is not with the
Editors, but with the citizens, who should
pay more attention to the local affairs of their
respective communities.
About 9 A. M. upon all the "highways''
and "byways" leading to the church conld
be seen a number of blooming boys and girls
from the little lad and lassie ot five or six
summers, to the bnxom yotith of "sweet
sixteen;" all tripping, with light hearts, to
the Sabbath-School celebration.', A more
beautiful sight cannot be contemplated than
the innocence and cheerfulness of sucjj a
throng of children, who from Sabbath to
Sabbath meet to receive moral instruction,
assembling for the purpose of celebrating
that glorious institution found by Robert
liaikes, for the welfare of tbe poor children
of Gloucester, which has since become
worldwide. Children, tbe personification of
purity and innocence, their hearts untainted
by the vanities and vices of tbe world, con
stitute the soul of society.
At 10 o'clock the school formed in classes,
inside tbe church, aud marched to a beautiful
grove on the farm of Mr. H. Lansou, near
tbe church, 'lite assembly beiag properly
disposed of here, Rev. N. H. Skyles. the
officiating clergyman, read a hymn which was
sung by the audience, making the forest vocal
with the melody, telling us that
'The groves were God's first temples"
a fervent and earnest petition was made then
to the Throne of Grace. The minister then
delivered an appropriate address, portraying
the beauties and benefitsof the Sabbath School,
tbe influence it wields upon society, and the
aid it affords the church, in eloquent lan
guage , yet at the same time so plain and
simple that the children could understand it.
1 bis is the secret of success in addressing the
young folks: too often public speakers, in
addressing Sabbath-Schools, and day-schools
use language beyond the comprehension of
those for whose especial benefit tbey are
speaking. During the discourse, whilst the
minister was relating some affecting incident
we could see that the eloquence of his tongue
had touched the heart of some of his atten
tive little listeners, by the impressive tear
drop dimming the bright eye. After the
speaker concluded the scholars were formed
around the tables, which were spread with
the choicest collection of food that the best
skill in the science of cooking coold produce;
lhanks, were returned to the Great Donor on
high and the children proceeded to do honor
to the viands as they hsd heretofore done to
the school. \\ hen the sharpened appetites
of the little folks were appeased, the tables
were again loaded down, and a general invi
tation given to all present to partake of the
bouniiful repast. Special praise is due the
Superintendent and other officer" of the
school for the zeal manifested on this occa
sion, and also to the "committee of arrange
ments" for the praiseworthy manner in which
their task was performed.
The officers of the school are Herbert Otto,
Superintendent, G. N, Ellis, Secretary, and
Joseph Black, jr., Librarian.
Truly Yours, SPECTATOR.
Mas. PARTINGTON - INSULTED.— The White
Mountains of New Hampshire are evidently a
great institution—very high, heavy frosts,
beautiful view, four dollar dinners. But the
practical eye of a certain renowned Drake
saw those smooth faced rocks, and thereupon
adorned and variegated the bridle path to the
Tip-top House with his familiar S. T. —lW>o
—X. PI-ABTATIOS BITTERS. This raised the
ire of the Mrs. Partingtons composing the
Legislature of the Granite State, who got
their wise heads together, outlawed Dr.
Drake, and made it a penal offense to ply
the artistic brush on their beloved hills. Ver
ily, the fine arts are at a discount in New
Hampshire. Query.—Did Drake pay them I
for this splendid advertisement?

In this place, Sept. 4, 1868, Mrs. MARY La
IIICKOCK, aged 7.1 years, wanting 24 days.
Her health had been feeble for some years.
Latterly it had prevented her from mingling in
society ami from attendance upon the public
means of grace in the sanctuary. She was a wo
man of intelligence and refinement. For fifty
eight yars she had been a member of the Presby
terian church, with which she was in conneetion
at her death, and to which she was ardently at
tached, being regular in her attendance on the
services thereof when health permitted : liberal in
her support of the institutions of the gospel, liv
ing an exemplary and consistent Christian life.
"For her to live was Christ, and to die was gain."
"For blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."
All her children, three sons and a daughter, sur
vive her to mourn the demise of their revered
parent May her God and Savior be their's to fol
low, and serve and enjoy.

This Company, Natisual in its character, of
fers, by reason of its Large Capital, Low Rates of
Premium and New Tables, the most desirable
means of insuring life yet presented to the public.
The rates of premium, being largely reduced,
are made as favorable to the insurers as those of
the best Mutual Companies, and avoid all the
complications and uncertainties of Notes, Divi
dend? and the misunderstandings which the latter
are so apt to create among the Policy-Holders.
Several new and attractive tables are now pre
sented which need only to he understood to provo
acceptable to the pußlie, such as the INCOME
PRODL'CING POLICY and RETURN PREMI
UM POLICY. In the former, the policy-holder
not onlv secures a life Insurance, payable at
death, but will ree ive, if living, after a period of
a few years, oh annual income equal to tarn per
rent. (16 per cent.) of tke par of kit policy. In
the latter, the Company agrees to return to the
attmrtd tke. total amount of money he hat paid in,
in addition to tke amount of kit policy.
The attention of persons contemplating insur
ing their lives or increasing the amount of insur
ance they already have, is called to the special
advantages offered by the National Life Insurance
Company.
